The Chestnut Mare Philosophy
Inspired by the horses that taught me the most
Curiosity
There is no room for fear in a curious mind. This is the foundational building block of all training. Without curiosity, you are simply doing things TO your horse, rather than WITH them.
Confidence
A confident horse starts with their herd. If we want to be their leader, then we must be confident in our own abilities to be kind, reasonable & consistent.
Connection
Connection is born from acknowledgement. Horsemanship is a conversation, a constant back and forth of offering a question and watching for the horse's answer.
